Kings place goaltender on waivers after Tuesday's wild 17-goal game
Following Tuesday's 9-8 overtime loss to the Seattle Kraken, the Los Angeles Kings have placed goaltender Cal Petersen on waivers, according to TSN's Chris Johnston.
Petersen, 28, came in relief during Tuesday's game for Jonathan Quick, who allowed five goals on 14 shots. Meanwhile, the Waterloo (Iowa) native has not been much better, allowing four goals on 16 shots, including the overtime winner to Andre Burakovsky.
In ten games this season, Petersen has a 5-3-2 record with a 3.75 GAA along with an .868 save percentage.
Petersen is under contract for two more seasons after this campaign, with an AAV of $5 million. His base salary for the 2023-24 season is $1 million, while in July he is owed a $4 million signing bonus.
Cal Petersen is under contract for two seasons beyond this one at a $5M AAV. He's also due a $4M signing bonus next year.
He's got an .868 save percentage in 10 appearances this season.— Chris Johnston (@reporterchris) November 30, 2022
